Intermediate Combined Technical and Air Scoring table
April, 30, 2008

The following table shows the combined scores for technical and air based on the technical points for each trick and the number of frames of air from 28 through 40. The yellow columns are only highlighted to make it easy to follow the 30 and 40 frame columns. These values are calculated off the published air scales. They are displayed this way to make it easier to determine the total combined technical and air score for each trick.
